Show me your compact pedalboard setup

While I'm blabbing on about my pedal board, I've done shows, ampless, with just the Two Notes Revolt, and Thumpinator...

That one isn't right. It needs tweaking. Send it to me so I can add some tweak.
Mine should be here tomorrow. I'm glad to see they actually exist!
If either of you ever decide to part with yours, I'll give you a stupid amount of money or trade you a rare Broughton for it.
I probably don't need one of those, but it would look cool on my pedalboard. Now that I found it is "Un-obtanium" I really want one.
I didn’t try to color coordinate on purpose but….

Starting a new project/band (Paul Stanley's side of Kiss).
Besides fitting/cabling/packing for gigging properly, what else may I need?
EBMM SR HS4->EHX Bass Soul Food (for Detroit R.C. essentially)-> HPF/LPF Schalltechnik_04 VONG-Filterung-> Aguilar TH-350->cab

The Love Squeeze looks like it sounds good (lol - if that's a thing).
Need some input here, I`m building a small pedalboard for amp-free gigs.. Bought an Mxr M81, `cause I tought I didn`t need anything more than tuner-compressor-preamp pedal.. Then I recently discovered the magic of parallel prosessing, so I`m planning to buy an Boss LS-2 and a decent overdrive pedal.
But in all this GAS-euphoria, i start to think, if most of my tone comes from the preamp pedal, how would the clean tone/distorted tone sound trough the preamp pedal when i go DI to FOH?
Should i also get an DI-box to FOH, and put the MXR81 in front of the Ls-2?
Or am I overthinkin`here..?

Well, if you would stop standing behind people I'll explain it for you mysterious one...
Rothwell Love Squeeze
I thought this was a bit, ya know, YELLOW...!
So, during my research for just such a compressor...I found a picture from another Rothwell true believer...
JohnK did a great interpretative job on this one...
I thought the black switch cap gave it a great "Blackhole" vibe with Stanley Kubrick decending...
No artifacts, no pumping and breathing, no extra tone tricks and isn't a limiter with ZERO noise.

WOW!!! I'm the same guy. I've got a couple of pedals getting customized right now. There's just some stuff that I don't appreciate bc of how it looks... soooo yeah, I modify WAY too many things in life. That pedal looks FANTASTIC!!! In fact -your entire board is aesthetically pleasing. I can dig it!!!! #PlayMoreBass
Crikey, is it a clock, or some kind of Stargate?
Time can be a powerful ally or your worst enemy. The Chronograph power-up grants you control of time. Take control of time and you'll take control of your destiny. The struggles of staying on schedule will be a thing of the past, lost in the abyss of time itself.
I hope ya don't mind that I didn't check with you first, but, I spent $6.31 on a new set of cabinet corners on my 1994 Henry the 8 X 8 cabinet, after cleaning it, and spent another $3.99 on new nickel screws/washers to hold the grill on...rust.
I know you'd approve of the new black powder coating for the grill just because it's #fengshuibaby!
The various positions for the input, output and power jacks makes having a "compact" board a challenge, but I'm pretty happy getting all this onto a Templeboard Solo18.
The green Nobles ODR-mini overdrive just replaced a MXR Phase 95. Phase is my absolute fave bass effect. It sounds so cool. Yet in all my years, I have yet to cover a song with that effect. Pink Floyd's "Have A Cigar" is the only song I'm even aware of having a phaser on the bass.
The Nobels is for mild grit. It's "not bad." My fave for mild bass overdrive is the EHX Hot Tubes, but it won't fit and I refuse to get a bigger board! I absolutely love the MojoMojo for more aggressive distortion.
Radial Big Shot I/O > TCE Polytune 3 (buffer on) > Bass Envelope Filter > EHX Pico POG > Diamond Bass Compressor > TCE Mojomojo Overdrive > Nobels ODR-mini > TCE Buffer (underneath board) > EHX Bass Clone Chorus > TCE Flashback Mini Delay > TCE Spark Boost Mini.

Preamp fest! How do you find they all work together?
